Has it really gotten to this point? Only scholars and sado-masochists (lower case is sufficient) are interested in discussing folk music? The point is if someone interested in folk music came to this site by accident and found all the threads about Jewish jokes and pop trivia and "what's your favorite" and those ego-centric "bash me" threads, why would he stay?

I don't want to spoil anyone's fun and I don't want a scholarly discussion of ethnomusicology but shouldn't a folk music site be mostly about folk music?

BG my ass.
